Greyfeathers
Shades of grey – from almost black to almost white, veering towards blue or violet, and more towards brown or light beige.
The shades are taken from birds’ plumage. Any guesses which one is the hadeda, the heron, the duck and the cockatoo (there are two cockatoos)?
The heron, the hadeda, the duck and the cockatoo. And a cockatoo who said: “Forget this grey stuff, I get me some yellow.” And then he blushed.

I’m a Fan of New Books
I bought new course books for my class. Don’t you love the feel and looks of new books, even class books?
Profiling this Portrait
Monday Portrait
Krallewätzchen
The title is from a children’s book when I was little about an elf-like creature who snuggles up in brown, dried leaves. I can just see him in there.

Debilitating Weather
These pictures are from a few years back.
Needless to say that when I stepped out of the house that day I was sure that I wouldn’t go to work that day, I didn’t want to go to work that day.
But the neighbours were out and starting to clear the snow. And I had help.
Within less than an hour, most of us had freed their cars and were on their way. I was off to work, albeit a bit late. As debilitating the snow was, it didn’t disable us completely.
Home
When I was looking for a photo for Debbie’s challenge today, I knew I wanted to show a photo of the neighbourhood I grew up in. I found this one, the houses of the old part of town where I used to play, the old town wall that bordered our garden, the Schlosspark with the pond behind, and the medieval tower which watched over it all. And then I noticed that I hadn’t taken this photo myself. The photographer was our grandson. Heritage in more ways than one.
